Om purnamadah purnamidam purnat purnamudacyate
Purnasya purnamadaya purnamevavasisyate
Om santih santih santih
That is fullness, this is fullness. From that fullness this fullness came.
From that fullness this fullness removed, what remains is fullness…
Om peace, peace, peace

Welcome to Mangalam Mandiram
The Vedas are the essence of Indian culture. Vedic life from all perspectives, beliefs, daily living itself, is influenced and is a reflection of the Vedas; the treasure house of Vedic knowledge. Thus, the richness of the Vedic heritage, traces its roots in the Vedas. They have for thousands of years been the primary source of reference of Vedic wisdom on every conceivable subject. The Vedas are known as ‘Sruti’, meaning ‘that which was heard’. This includes ‘anadi anantam’, meaning ‘no beginning, no ending’ and ‘anapauruseyam’, meaning ‘no human authorship’. When heard, the Vedas evoke a remembrance in us carrying forth impeccable and invaluable wisdom. The ancient systems of yoga and ayurveda were birthed from ‘Mother’ Veda. Mangalam translates as ‘auspicious’ while Mandiram is ‘abode of joy’. Mangalam Mandiram is an auspicious sanctuary which invites you to explore the profound beauty of these sacred teachings through study, practice and the direct experience of
